Story
I acquired my pet from a local breeder when he was just a few months old. He’s currently about 2 years old and has been a huge part of my daily life. He’s very affectionate, playful, smart, and loves being around people. He also does well with attention and enjoys being active and outdoors. For a new home, I’m looking for someone who will give him plenty of love, patience, and time. Ideally, he would do best with a family or individual who can keep up with his energy level and provide a stable, caring environment. A few words I’d use to describe him are loyal, energetic, sweet, friendly, curious, and loving.

Story
Athena is a very loving addition to any home. She was found on the streets then abused by the owner before my husband adopted her. While we would love to keep her, she is animal reactive and aggressive. Unfortunately there was an incident four months ago with our neighbors dog and we are now having to make this heartbreaking decision. SHE WILL NEED TO BE THE ONLY ANIMAL IN THE HOME. She will come with everything she needs, sweaters included.

Hi! Kali is an adult American Bully registered with the ABKC. I’ve had Kali since she was 8 weeks old and she will be 8 years old in October. Kali is a fun and playful pup who gets along with everyone. She does well at daycare and boarding when I have to travel out of town. Unfortunately, my schedule has become much busier recently and I’m no longer able to commit the time necessary to keep her. I’d love for Kali to be adopted by someone who can give her the time she needs. She is a simple gal who loves snuggles (she thinks she’s a lap dog).

Story
I got Cupid from a breeder, he was born august 3 2024. He is very active and playful, and requires a lot of attention, I can’t give that to him anymore because I have a newborn. He is house trained, but he needs a bit more work with being outside and walking, he does tug on the leash he just needs good training. He loveeee to jump I say “ he’s giving hugs “ lol, but it can be a bad thing because he’s so big. he’s not good with small kids. I think that’s where the bad jumping comes from because he’s bigger than them. so I wouldn’t recommend getting him if you have small kids. He is allergic to chicken. I have his shot records. and I can give you all of his items from my house.

Story
We got Johnathan from a friend when he was a tiny puppy about a year ago. He is very energetic and eager to be trained. He has always been a best friend to people and dogs but has very bad food aggression that makes it unsafe for him to be around helpless beings(babies, puppies, small animals,etc.) he loves car rides and does extremely well on long drives. We are hoping to find him a home where time can be made to give him proper training without kids. He would be very well suited for a single person looking for a companion. Unfortunately we need him gone as soon as possible, I love him so much but I have larger things going on, just want him to go to a good home

Story
🐶 Bowser Bowser is a high-energy intelligent boy who thrives when h the center of attention. He loves people and is incredibly sweet. He enjoys outdoor adventures playtime butt rubs and being with someone who matches his energy. He is about 3 years old Australian Shepherd mix and about 60 pounds. Fully vaccinated, neutered and healthy! Ideal Home: Active individual or family Dog-savvy owner who can provide structure and exercise Could always use some training. 💕 does pull on a leash a bit but using a gentle leader really helps. Does well with babies but gets a little nervous and growly around screaming toddlers... but it was a one-time incident and he was around his sibling and can be a bit of a bully to her. Would do very well with older children. Bowser struggles with other dogs due to littermate syndrome and wants to be the alpha. He would do best in a home where he can be the only pet and receive consistent attention and training.
